Here are pics with Ebony stain. Dusty footprint shows easily Also, M just stains it. They won't seal it with varnish or polyurethane so you will have to get them done after.

Was hoping it would be more like this colour Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ What colour is your door stain?

Merbau gets more darker than meranti. Your door will be as dark as that. The stair is a bit lighter as the wood is meranti.

It's silly, it's only like an hour of work from the plaster guys, tell them to stop being lazy. Like seriously it's your house, and it's such a small item of work to keep you happy, surely they can understand that. Re: Metricon Metro 32 Qld 136Aug 21, 2017 6:33 pm dulie Fight it all the way!

Totally agree, Dulie....the fight is on! lol Metricon Metro 32 KDRB Bayside Melbourne viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84012 Metricon Metro 32 Qld 137Aug 23, 2017 10:47 am Who new wallpaper selection could be so difficult! After hours of looking through sample books managed to find one for the feature walls in the living rooms. Think this will add some much needed natural textural contrast to the plain white walls.

Super scary yet exciting at the same time!! We have decided to go with Metricons's Metro 32 as it suits our lifestyle needs and is not excessively big for a double story. Here are our initial plans, we have only made a few minor changes -stacker doors to the verandah -bigger verandah -2700 ceilings downstairs & higher doors -reconfigured kitchen island bench -window kitchen splashback -removed wall between dinning & study -bigger ensuite shower Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Not sure yet about the house positioning as thinking maybe 0.5m from the boundary needs to be pushed out to 1m??
